Shettima Apologizes Over Controversial Comment

Meanwhile, Kashim Shettima has given clarification to his comment during the 10th Senate leadership tussle a few days ago.

It could be recalled that the in the build-up to the election of leaders of the 10th National Assembly, Shettima, during a meeting with some lawmakers, said, “Under the current dispensation, the worst incompetent Southern Christian is better than the most puritanical Northern Muslim for the Presidency of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria”.

Shettima’s comment was criticized by some Muslims.

Naija News understands that Shettima made the statement while appealing to senators-elect to support President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC’s) choice of candidate, Senator Godswill Akpabio.

However, while speaking during a recent interview with BBC Hausa, Shettima said his utterances were misunderstood, and he had no intention of defaming his religion.
